Quinoa Oatmeal with Berry Compote

This quinoa oatmeal is creamy, hearty, and fuels you up to power you through your morning.

Good morning!

I made you the most creamy, delicious oatmeal that you can just take right back to bed with you. What? It is the weekend after all. Weekends are meant for breakfast in bed.

Have you ever added sliced bananas into your oatmeal as you’re making it? Like stovetop? Because if you haven’t, I’m about to change your life. 

Adding bananas makes the oatmeal so creamy and naturally sweet so when you combine that with quinoa, it’s out of this world! Plus you get the natural protein and “staying power” of quinoa to help power you through the morning.
